Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.). Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is creating a software application to drive the receive/transmit of a novel ultrasound transducer and then scan-convert the signal into an image in real-time. Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and various sports analytics software solutions.

Technical keywords: C++, C#, Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, GPGPU, Rails, R, Python, and more.

SEEKING WORK - Graz, Austria (British citizen, German language skills mediocre). Prefer Remote Work.

Close to 20 years professional experience, mostly product management, business analysis, project management and general startup management.

Four years at eBay 1999 - 2003 in content/product management roles.

Nine years and BBC Worldwide in product management/business analysis roles, including senior management positions with multiple direct reports. Projects included large scale digitisation of tape archive, storage and delivery of digitised data. Worked with outsource providers for much of the heavy lifting, but developed front end media asset management tool in house.

Three years running my own television post-production in London's Soho. Employed between 10-15 staff at various times. Multiple Avid based edit suites, audio suites, graphic design team, colour grading suite. Sold to a competitor in March 2014.

Now trying to re-invent myself in data science. Proficient in R and developing web applications in Shiny. Specific areas of interest in sport and betting applications.

SEEKING WORK - remote development and mentoring (Israel), on-site training

I am a full-stack Web developer (since 1993) and an independent consultant (since 1995). I set up one of the 100 Web sites in the world, write the monthly Web technology column for Linux Journal, and have a PhD in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University.

Currently, I spend half of my time helping developers to use open-source tools more effectively. I teach Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to individuals and companies (including Apple, Cisco, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare), in the US, Europe, Israel, and China. I also give free Webinars, curate http://DailyTechVideo.com/, and spoke at last month's http://hacksummit.org/.

In addition to formal courses, I offer mentoring and code-review services. If you are a new programmer, then I can help you to avoid pitfalls and mistakes. If your team is new to a set of technologies, I can improve your processes and code quality, on a one-time or ongoing basis. I have done this for such companies as SAP and Fiverr, with great success.

My ebook, "Practice Makes Python" (http://lerner.co.il/practice-makes-python), gives Python developers a chance to improve their skills after taking a course, but before embarking on real-world projects.

In addition to my work as a trainer and mentor, I do software development projects, generally using one or more of the technologies mentioned above. Such projects range from simple database optimizations to full-scale Web development projects.

I like to speak with and help nice people with interesting projects, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so.

If I can be of help to you or your company, contact me at reuven@lerner.co.il, on Skype as "reuvenlerner", or on WeChat (微信) as "ReuvenLerner". You can also read more about me at http://lerner.co.il/ , and on my blog at http://blog.lerner.co.il/ .
